A message from Fr. Tony

DRAWN INTO THE STORY “We are witnesses!” The scripture readings for Easter Sunday concentrate on details reported by eyewitnesses. Listen carefully and you will be drawn into the stories yourself. Peter reports the good works Jesus did, his death on the cross, and his resurrec on. The passage from John’s Gospel has us running to the empty tomb with Peter and John and peering inside to see the cloths used to cover Jesus’ body. Psalm 118 sums up our response: “It is wonderful in our eyes!”

What resurrec on details do we see in our lives today? How have we died to our old lives and been raised up again with Jesus? Let us pay a en on to the new life around us. It is wonderful in our eyes.

Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony

CAPTURADO POR LA HISTORIA “¡Somos tes gos!” Las lecturas bíblicas del Domingo de Pascua se centran en detalles reportados por tes gos oculares. Escucha detenidamente y sen rás que la historia te captura. Pedro reporta las buenas obras hechas por Jesús, su muerte en la cruz, y su Resurrección. El pasaje del Evangelio de San Juan nos hace correr a la tumba vacía con Pedro y Juan, y dar una mirada adentro para ver el lienzo usado para cubrir el cuerpo de Jesús. El Salmo 118 resume nuestra respuesta: “¡Es un milagro patente!”

¿Qué detalles de resurrección vemos hoy en nuestra vida? ¿Cómo hemos muerto a la vida vieja y resucitado de nuevo con Jesús? Tengamos bien en cuenta la nueva vida que nos rodea. Es un milagro patente.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

Fi y years or so ago, it was popular to teach that every Sunday is a “Li le Easter.” Today, a er several decades of intense liturgical reform, it is more proper to think of today as a “Big Sunday.” On every Sunday of the year, the Church is obliged to assemble, keeping the day holy. In most places, we hardly a ain the goal of gathering all who are in Christ by bap sm. Look around today and see what a Big Sunday looks like!

Our tradi on speaks of remembering, anamnesis, as the an dote to “amnesia,” the tragic forge ng of who God is and who we are as God’s most beloved crea on. On this Easter day, we are at our very best. We remember who God is, and we remember who we are in God’s eyes: beloved sons and daughters, reborn to eternal life in bap smal waters. We rekindle our candles and re-claim our bap smal promises. As a “Big Sunday,” today also reflects the character of fes vity and leisure that should mark every Lord’s Day. We wear “Sunday best” today, and we may take some me, especially in the northern states, to stroll through a budding garden. It is truly a “Big Sunday,” and how different our lives would be if we took its values and tradi ons forward into all the Sundays of our lives.
